        <p>lpsholdp — 
      Control signals based on held segments.

        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
    Generate control signal consisiting of held segments delimited
    by two or more specified points. The entire envelope can be looped
    at time-variant rate. Each segment coordinate can also be varied
    at k-rate.

        <h2>Syntax</h2>
        <pre class="synopsis">ksig <span class="command"><strong>lpsholdp</strong></span>  kphase, kvalue0, ktime0  [, kvalue1] [, ktime1] \
      [, kvalue2] [, ktime2] [...]</pre>

        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>ksig</em></span> - output signal
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kphase</em></span> -- point of the sequence read, expressed as a fraction of a cycle (0 to 1) 
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kvalue0...kvalueN</em></span> -- Values of points
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>ktime0...ktimeN</em></span> -- Times between points; expressed in fractions of a cycle (see below). The final time designates a ramp between the final value and the first value. 
    </p>
        <p>
    <span class="emphasis"><em>lpsholdp</em></span> opcode is similar to
    <a class="link" href="lpshold.html" title="lpshold"><em class="citetitle">lpshold</em></a>; the only difference is that, instead
    of frequency,  a time-variant phase is required. If you use a
    phasor to get the phase value, you will have a behaviour identical
    to <span class="emphasis"><em>lpshold</em></span>, but interesting results can be achieved
    when using phases having non-linear motions, making <span class="emphasis"><em>lpsholdp</em></span> more
    powerful and general than <span class="emphasis"><em>lpshold</em></span>.
